How Long Do Cats Live Anyway??


I have been thinking for a long time that getting rid of Griffen the cat would be a good thing. He dumps his water bowl over for reasons I do not know or understand. I find his litter box skills completely lacking and he is still hissing at me when I walk by him.
Me "Joshua, what do you think if we put Griffen to sleep?"
Josh "I think you mean kill him."
Me "Well, yeah but he would go to sleep."
Josh "No."

Here's a deal for Josh - and you: I will give you two, count 'em, TWO cats that are housebroken and friendly. They love to be petted, they purr, and they love to play. They would love to be in a no-dog-zone home. FREE. Just take Griffen to Uncle John for a relaxing walk in the woods.

Carla said...

Ok. What is really wrong with the cats? I can take it.

erin said...

I'll trade Pedro for Griffen.
No looking back.

Carla said...

Will Pedro use a litter box?

LadyD said...

Bring it over, the boys love target practice. Dakota actually hit a bird the other day with his BB gun!

Josh,
Remember the Fatcat peeing in your closet? Take a big sniff and reconsider.
If I liked cats, I'd take Kandi's cats--they rock, well, for cats.

Carla said...

LOL LD.
You called Griffen "it."

The hissing is his affectionate way of asking you to suddenly reach down and tickle his belly hard. And try nuzzling him under the chin with your nose while you're doing it. If you make a shrill growling sound during this process, he'll gently lick your forehead.

Carla said...

Ew! I mean Mew.

Griffen the Cat said...

My litter box stinks, like you said,
Clean it quick while I puke on your bed.   
If you were a cat,
You would be twice as fat,
Serve me now, Stream, I want to be fed.

Dear Griffen,
Although you are no longer my best kitten baby, that was lyrical.

Kara Jo said...

"Clean it quick while I puke on your bed." L.O.L.!!!

Kandi said...

Only one of my cats has an issue - she's skittish. But once she gets used to you, she'll wrap around your legs all the time, and purr. Luke can be mouthy, but he loves to suggle up with you and purr. Honestly - there isn't anything wrong with these cats. They just don't get along with our dog, so they end up staying in the basement 24/7. :( They need to be with people. Did I mention they're FREE?

This whole thing cracks me up!
I totally saw LD call Griffen "it". "the boys love target practice" LOL!!!

This photo makes me laugh because it looks like you photo-shopped in the head of a kitten on the body of a, I don't know, baby tiger? (no offense, Griffen. You are a pretty boy.)

Carla said...

I agree Griffen is a pretty boy although a bit disproportionate. Kitten head, tiger bod. :)

Unknown said...

Well, well...interesting scheming we have going on here isn't it?

Carla said...

Kandi,
Skittish or not,
I want to be cat free.
Not get a cat that is free.
Cat free.
You and me.

Pat,
Not scheming. Dreaming.

Carla said...

PS
How long do cats live anyway??

Unknown said...

Average lifespan of indoor cat is 13-15 years. It is not uncommon though to see some get into their 20's.

Carla said...

Griffen turned 11 years old this month. Hmmmm.

Karla with a K said...

Hmmm. Only 11? But don't smaller cats tend to live longer, and um, you know, chubbier cats maybe don't last as long?

Carla said...

Our neighbor had a HUGE cat named Dozer.(short for Bulldozer)He lived forever before he died.

Kandi said...

Carla,
Think of the children.
I'm just sayin'.

kristi noser said...

ah, but for the children...

Carla said...

Ah the children.
They will grow into adults and fill their own houses with pets.

You've solved one of the great mysteries of life. How long is FOREVER??
